A rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch is presented, consisting of an ectasia of the left subclavian artery associated with narrowing of the aortic arch in an asymptomatic twenty-three-year-old woman.

We studied the outcome of our modified aortic arch replacement procedure in which the distal end of the graft is anastomosed between the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery including the postoperative physical status of the left arm in comparison with the conventional...

Surgical treatment of bilateral subclavian artery aneurysms can present a challenge to the surgeon. A simple method of aneurym exclusion and revascularization of the upper extremities and posterior cerebral circulation is presented. This approach greatly simplifies the surgical management of...

A case of postinflammatory aneurysm of the subclavian artery is described. The etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and therapeutic implications are discussed and the literature is reviewed. The condition may be quite asymptomatic or present with various local and remote...

The aim of this study was to verify the feasibility of using a J-tipped guidewire as a target for puncture of the subclavian artery in the placement of a reservoir port and catheter system (RPCS). Twenty-five patients with various hepatic malignancies underwent percutaneous implantation of an...

The authors report a case of a fifty-three-year-old man with isolated interruption of aortic arch without associated congenital anomalies. The anomaly was corrected with a 12 mm Dacron prosthetic graft from the subclavian artery to the distal segment of the descending aorta.

A unique case of bilateral, saccular subclavian artery aneurysms and their treatment in a patient with massive atherosclerosis in the absence of a history trauma and extrinsic vascular compression is presented with a brief review the literature.

The authors report the use of reversed superficial femoral vein (SFV) as an interposition graft in the subclavian artery following the exclusion of an aneurysm in a patient with compression of the artery at the thoracic outlet. SFV was easy to harvest and handle and provided an ideal size match...

The subclavian artery is a major branch of the Aorta. In the left, the subclavian artery arises from Aortic arch and in the right it arises from the Brachiocephalic trunk. This artery passes from the subclavian groove on the first rib and continues as Axillary artery. The subclavian artery has...
